Buckle up and turn the key on our short quiz about all things automotive, and show us how well you really know cars! From car technology to the automotive industry and even motorsports, even the committed car enthusiast will find a challenge. But whether you’ve spent your life behind the wheel or are still aspiring to your learner’s permit, we think everyone will learn something new.

A direct comparison with BMW’s own M6 Gran Coupe reveals the different character of the two super sedans. In the M6, the extensively tweaked 4.4-liter V-8 makes 560 horsepower, 20 more than the Alpina, but just 502 lb-ft of torque, 38 less than the B6. The M6, in line with its ultra-sporty aspirations, is only available as a rear-drive model, and it’s fitted with either a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic or a six-speed manual. In a recent comparison test , we managed to get the four-dour M6 from standstill to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, and our example wasn’t subject to the U.S.-market’s 155-mph governor but rather the German-market’s 190-mph limiter.

Of course, it doesn’t really matter who has the best-selling car in the world, whether it’s the Focus or Corolla. It’s just another title for a celebrity voice-over to espouse in the next advertising campaign; ltimately, if the world is buying up one-million-plus Focuses and Corollas, it’s not really going to make that much of a difference on either company’s bottom line (I mean, it’s not like their cars have a habit of killing people, so they’re both good there). The real question, in my mind, is whether the Focus or Corolla is the more boring of the two, appended with the sub-question asking why people aren’t buying more Mazda3s.

I remember talking to the Honda SC while having my car service, I was discusiing to him the importance of VSC, airbags and also the terrible NVH in most Honda, he says he also reads Paultan and its comment section and particularly on Honda article. But he has very little means of affecting the pricing and ,market streategy on the BOD that affects this changes. All he can do is write a letter at most and even than its little known weather it’ll even be read. But joyce of joy the new Honda City is here and it can be had with 6 airbags and two top models with VSC, did I effect the BOD decission, I like to smugly think so(thou chances are very tiny)

Certain RAV4, Prado and Hilux vehicles produced between June 2004 and December 2010 and sold as new in New Zealand are affected by a spiral cable recall. This affects 200,000 vehicles in Oceania, and Toyota New Zealand staff are working to identify every New Zealand vehicle affected. The spiral cable is installed in the steering column to connect steering wheel mounted electrical systems.

“In the early 21st century Toyota came up with the brilliant idea of making one part that would fit millions and millions of cars, and also built parts relatively cheaply in order to maximise profits at that time, and now that policy has come back to bite them,” he told Radio New Zealand (RNZ) this morning.
